@wotsup is too stupid to realise that Jesus was talking to Peter and not to himself when he told him that he (Peter) was the rock on which he would build his church.
The church referred to is the people. You do have the odd moments of brilliance."

In every single instance where its talking about the rock,its talking about Gods son in the bible

When Peter said
"Thou art the son of the living God"

This is the foundation that the gates of hell shall not prevail against

Not Peter

Jesus used one form of the word "rock" (petra) for the rock on which he would build his church, and another (petros) for Peter.

According to George Abbott-Smith's Greek lexicon, "petra" means "a mass of ... rock," distinct from "petros" meaning "a detached stone or boulder

Jesus was crucified for saying he was the son of God

When the Roman soldier stood at the foot of the cross,he said,trully this was the son of God

When Paul was converted,he went into the synagoges and preached that Jesus was the son of God

John 3.16
God so loved the world,that he SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTON SON,that whosever believes in him,shall not perish,but have everlasting life

Yes, Jesus confirmed that he would be building his church using Peter as the rock on which to accomplish this.
I don't think that this contradicts the other Biblical narratives that you point to.
